"You're not really happy."

Han Zhou knew that this was because he was present. If Gu Zheng was left alone, this guy would definitely laugh happily.

"It's no trouble. We don't have classes in the afternoon anyway."

He asked, "Sister Yin, I see the store is almost ready, when do you plan to open for business?"

"We have to wait a few more days." Zhong Yin responded indifferently.

Gu Zheng narrowed her eyes and said, "Then let us know when the time comes and we'll come over to help."

“Okay.” A smile appeared on Zhong Yin’s face.

The attitude is completely different.

"Hey, Han Zhou." Lin Anyu squeezed Han Zhou's shoulder and asked in a low voice, "Did you offend your senior sister in some way?"

"That's true." Han Zhou shrugged, looking nonchalant, "I offended you the first time we met."

"What?" Lin Anyu was shocked. "You still hold a grudge against me for the first time we met? Are you so petty?"

He glanced at Zhong Yin calmly, shook his head and said with emotion, "It is said that tolerance is greatness, it seems that the words of the ancients cannot be trusted..."

Han Zhou's mouth twitched: "Next time before you speak, remember to check if there is a wrench in Sister Yin's pocket..."

"What do you mean?"

"What are you two talking about secretly?" Gu Zheng looked at them suspiciously.

Lin Anyu's expression tensed, fearing that Han Zhou would retaliate and betray him as decisively as he had betrayed him before, by saying "Lin Anyu said Sister Yin is the boss."

Fortunately, Han Zhou did not say that, but said calmly: "Nothing, we were just talking about the sports meeting."

"Brothers……"

Lin Anyu looked at Han Zhou with emotion.

Han Zhou ignored him and asked, "Can I eat the cake? I'm a little hungry."

Gu Zheng had been ravenous for a long time, and nodded quickly: "I'm a little hungry too."

Zhong Ling brought over the plate of cakes. Zhong Yin looked down at the smiling faces on the cakes, his expression softened a bit, and said, "These are them. Have a try."

She took out disposable gloves and distributed them to several people.

Han Zhou picked up the pastry and observed it carefully for a while, then leaned in to smell it. He thought that it was no wonder that Zhong Yin asked about the color, aroma and taste last time. This time the pastry was indeed beautiful and fragrant, but he didn't know how it tasted.

He took a bite and tasted it.

Before he could speak, Lin Anyu beside him said in amazement: "It has a very special taste, and the texture is not bad, but it's a bit greasy and sweet. It may be because I don't like sweets very much."

The main purpose of this tasting was to give a true evaluation of the pastries in order to facilitate subsequent improvements, so he did not only mention the advantages.

"I don't think it's greasy, it's delicious." Gu Zheng puffed her cheeks and expressed a different opinion, "But it's a little sweet, it would be better if it had a little sour taste."

Zhong Yin wrote down what the two said, then looked at Han Zhou, who thought for a moment and said, "The taste is indeed very special. The first bite gives people a bright feeling. The sweetness may indeed be high, but in my opinion it is within the acceptable level. It depends on the person. As for suggestions for improvement, I won't mention it. I don't usually eat sweets."

"Are you bored?" Zhong Yin asked.

"A little bit..." Han Zhou hesitated for a while, "But I think being a little greasy is not necessarily a bad thing. No matter how special the taste is, it will no longer be special if you eat too much. If you can control it within a suitable range and use greasy taste to limit the amount of food the customer eats each time without making the customer feel sick, then maybe you can gain a stable number of repeat customers."

Zhong Yin nodded: "It's a good idea."

Since she decided to open a cake shop after careful consideration, she naturally could not simply bet everything on her beauty like Lin Anyu, who was a bystander. In fact, she had never thought about this, but focused on her strength itself.

The strength of a pastry shop naturally does not lie in how good-looking the owner is, but in whether the pastries in the store can attract customers.

As a new store, if it can only offer the same old cakes, then there will naturally not be much room for profit. At most, it can just squeeze out a little profit from other stores. Knowing this, Zhong Yin made up his mind to open the store after researching new cakes and making them the store's featured products during the opening period.

However, unless the store can continue to research new pastries, it obviously will not be able to continue to launch new products. Therefore, Han Zhou’s idea is worth considering. This will allow the newly developed pastry to be active for a longer period of time and enhance the store’s reputation.

Even the right amount of "greasy" might be a selling point.

Zhong Yin pondered for a moment, then turned to look at his sister who was smiling beside him: "Xiao Ling, what do you think?"

"Everything my sister cooks is delicious."

Han Zhou helped translate what Zhong Ling said.

Zhong Yin seemed a little helpless. He gently touched his sister's head and smiled dotingly. There was no blame in his tone: "You should have some opinions of your own."

Zhong Ling just smiled sweetly.

After the tasting, the next step is to name the product. As the saying goes, clothes make the man, and saddles make the horse. A nice name is more likely to leave an impression on people.

Several people sat around a table. Lin Anyu pondered for a moment and spoke first: "How about calling it 'Haha Gao'? Look, this smiley face is very creative. We can make something out of it..."

The moment everyone heard the word "Haha Gao", their expressions became complicated and no one spoke.

"Well, your silence is deafening..."

The smile on Lin Anyu's face froze, and he tactfully lowered his head and continued to think hard.

After a while, Guzheng said, "Although 'Haha Cake' is difficult... not that nice to hear, I think it can be named after a smiling face. How about calling it 'Spring Breeze Cake'?"

She still gave Lin Anyu face and deliberately changed "unpleasant" to "not so nice".

Lin Anyu lowered his head and said nothing, shaking his head in his heart. This name was obviously not as good as "Haha Gao".

"What do you mean by smiling and cheerful?"

Unexpectedly, Zhong Yin did not remain silent this time. Instead, he thought about it seriously for a while, but finally shook his head, "It's not intuitive enough, and it doesn't quite match the name of the pastry."

Lin Anyu quickly said: "To put it intuitively, Haha Gao should be..."

Seeing that no one paid attention to him, he had to lower his head in grief and anger, thinking to himself that the three-point line is east of the river, and three minutes is west of the river. Sooner or later, you will use the name I think of.

Han Zhou said: "I think that cakes don't have to be limited to smiling faces. All kinds of faces can be painted on them, and customers can choose for themselves. This may even be a selling point."

Zhong Yin's eyes lit up: "So what's the name?"

"shameless."

"Ah?" Everyone was stunned.

"The face-changing cake is fine. Don't think it sounds bad. Actually..."

"Enough, I know what you mean, but I don't consider using this naming method." Zhong Yin gave Han Zhou a cold look and interrupted him.

"You're not as good as 'Haha Gao'..." Lin Anyu seized the opportunity and spoke up for his "Haha Gao" again.

It’s a pity that no one paid any attention to him.

"Mood Cake." At this time, Han Zhou spoke again, "The senior said that we can keep my previous suggestion and draw various expressions on the cakes, and call it Mood Cake."

Everyone thought about it and thought that this name was feasible. Gu Zheng hesitated and said, "But normally, no one would buy cakes specifically to make them feel bad, right? Even if they are in a bad mood, they will hide it..."

"That's not necessarily true." Han Zhou shook his head. "I feel like this thing will be more popular among couples. It's perfect for expressing feelings when there's a conflict, and it can also be used as an apology gift."

"I think Haha Cake is the best..."

The following sentence seemed to be air. Gu Zheng thought, "That's true, but there are also disadvantages..."

"..."

After discussing for a long time, everyone still couldn't decide on a name for the pastry, so they just kept a few options to be determined.

Zhong Yin was not in a hurry and said, "Since we can't come to a conclusion for the time being, let's first decide on the name of the sign."

Lin Anyu, who had already been disheartened, suddenly had his eyes light up. He thought that the moment to prove himself had finally come. He slammed the table and stood up: "I just thought of it!"

Everyone looked at him.

Lin Anyu cleared his throat and said, "In my opinion, the signboard must be able to fully demonstrate the atmosphere and selling points of the store. What is the biggest selling point of our store?"

"That's right—it's you, Sister Yin!"

"Don't think I'm kidding. As a beautiful lady, your image will definitely be one of the biggest selling points of our store. It will be even more so if you have the help of senior schoolmates. Our store specializes in desserts, so we can try to combine 'beauty' and 'sweetness' in the name..."

Everyone became interested and looked forward to it: "So what do you think it should be named?"

Lin Anyu smiled confidently, looking very excited.

"Sisters Bakery--how is it?"

The air grew quiet, and the silence of the crowd was deafening once again.

"Sure enough, we shouldn't have expected anything from this guy..." everyone thought in unison.

At this moment, Han Zhou suddenly had an idea and said thoughtfully: "The idea of ​​combining 'beautiful' and 'sweet' to name the name can actually be tried, but Lin Anyu's method has some problems. I think there is a name that is very suitable, sweet, nice, and catchy."

"what name?"

After hearing the name "Shameless" before, Zhong Yin didn't actually have any expectations for Han Zhou's naming idea, but he still listened carefully with patience.

Han Zhou did not show a confident smile like Lin Anyu, but just said two words slowly.

"Silver bell."

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 292 I suddenly want to marry you

Silver bell.

Combining the names of Zhong Yin and Zhong Ling symbolizes the never separation of the sisters. Together they also have a good meaning - people usually use the sound of silver bells to describe laughter, which can be reflected to a certain extent. The word "sweet" sounds good as a store name and has a certain appeal.

Zhong Yin was very satisfied with Han Zhou's proposal and immediately decided to use "Yin Ling" as the name of the store. As for the suffix, he still needed to think about it a little more.

It can be seen that she has high expectations for this pastry shop and strives to make everything the best.

"Sister Yin is very motivated."

Looking at Zhong Yin who was on the phone outside the door, Gu Zheng put his chin in his hands, bent his eyes and sighed.

"Yeah, it seems like I haven't had much rest recently."

Han Zhou smiled. He knew more about Zhong Yin's thoughts, so he could better understand Zhong Yin's mood during this period. He put a lot of effort into it, got unconditional support from his sister, and also used his parents' savings during his lifetime. She It can be said that he has shouldered the expectations of the whole family and will never allow himself to fail. He is full of pressure and motivation.

Zhong Ling sat quietly next to the two of them, with a slight smile on her face. But when her eyes occasionally glanced at the hearing aid in Zhong Xin's ear outside the door, a trace of sadness would flash in her eyes, and she subconsciously tightened the small cloth bag around her waist.

No one else noticed this.

At the table where several people were sitting, Lin Anyu clasped his fingers on his forehead, stared at the extremely clean table with a lonely expression, and murmured to himself: "Is the name 'Haha Cake' really that bad? …”

This was the third time he sighed since the naming discussion ended.
